Abstract
Description
- Modular batteries are batteries which comprise two or more battery cells or cell modules or cells. A common example of a device using a modular battery is a hand held flashlight which may use for example two C cells.
- Recently, modular batteries have become important in many applications, including hybrid electric vehicles (“HEV”), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (“PHEV”), and other applications. When used in HEV, PHEV, and other applications, in addition to being durable, safe and cost effective, modular batteries are required to deliver a great deal of power.
- Applications of modular batteries, like the hand-held flashlight, require the use of multiple battery cells connected in series. However, the modular batteries for HEVs and PHEVs, for example, may differ from the modular C cells used in a common flashlight.
- U.S. Patent Publication No. 2009-0239130 A1 discloses a modular battery with interconnectors, and is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
- The present invention provides a modular battery comprising a first battery cell having a first electrode surface, a second battery cell having a second electrode surface, a compressible interconnector connecting the first battery cell and the second battery cell, and a polymeric material holding the first battery cell against the second battery cell with the interconnector in a compressed state.
- The present invention also provides a method for forming a modular battery comprising: placing a compressible interconnector between a first battery cell having a first electrode surface and a second battery cell having a second electrode surface, placing a polymeric material at the peripheries of the first and second battery cells, compressing the compressible interconnector, and curing the polymeric material to hold the first battery cell with respect to the second battery cell so that the compressible interconnector remains in a compressed state.
- The present invention will be described with respect to a preferred embodiment, in which:
-
FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a step in manufacturing a modular battery according to one embodiment the present invention; -
FIG. 2 schematically shows a completed modular battery following theFIG. 1 step; and -
FIG. 3 shows an alternate embodiment of the present invention. - The drawings are schematic in nature and not to scale. For clarity and ease of understanding, some elements have been exaggerated in size.
- In order to be powerful enough for HEVs, PHEVs, and other applications, it is desirable to use modular batteries containing cells with a high surface to volume ratio, for example using a planar design for each cell of the battery. These cells may be, for example, about the size of a large book wherein the “front” of the book contains, for example, a positive terminal (also known as an electrode) and the “back” of the book contains, for example, a negative terminal. Unlike their cylindrical counterparts (e.g., C cell batteries) which use a raised dimple at one end of a cell to make electrical contact with the next cylindrical cell, substantially planar cells need not have such raised dimple(s).
- For many applications requiring high electrical power including HEVs and PHEVs, it is desirable that the battery delivers electrical power at a high voltage in order to reduce the required current needed to supply the electrical power which in turn will beneficially reduce the need for high-current carrying materials to the devices using the electrical power. Electrical power is the multiple of voltage and current and high voltage delivery of electrical power to a device, for example an electric motor, will require thinner or less conductive current carriers (for example copper wire) to the device which will reduce their cost. Electric vehicles for example may require a battery to provide electrical power at 300 to 600 volts. This high voltage is typically achieved by externally connecting multiple lower voltage battery modules electrically in series. This is in part due to safety considerations in assembling and operating a series connected “stack” of typical “pouch” cells within a battery module, since at higher voltages and especially above approximately 60 Volts, there is a significant risk of electrical arcing and a severe shock hazard since the edge peripheries of “flat” cells such as typical “pouch” cells have their cell terminals exposed. For safety these cell terminals are connected electrically in series within a low voltage battery module, for example, having less than 60 volts.
- An object of the present invention is to provide sufficient pressure to ensure that battery modules retain good electrical contact. Another alternate or additional object of the present invention is to reduce the weight and/or cost and/or complexity of manufacturing of a modular battery. Yet a further alternate or additional object is provide for ease of disassembly for example for service or recycling.
- The present invention may be used with the modular battery disclosed in incorporated-by-reference U.S. Patent Publication No. 2009-0239130 A1.
-
FIG. 1 shows sixcell modules 23 stacked one on another electrically in series and separated bycompressible interconnectors 24 which serve to electrically connect in series one cell module to the next cell module. Eachmodule 23 may have aport 20 for an electrolyte,electrical feedthroughs 21 andburst disc 22 for pressure relief in themodule 23. Further details of the cell modules are found in U.S. Patent Publication No. 2009-0239130 A1, although it is noted that other modules may be used in accordance with the present invention. Severalcompressible interconnectors 24 can be present between two cell modules, for example 8 layers, each 10 mils in thickness. Thus the space between cell modules for example can be 80 mils, and compressible to 60 mils when in use. - For the lowest electrical resistance between
cell modules 23 in the battery stack, pressure should be applied to theinterconnectors 24 between thecell modules 23. However, using the enclosure and springs described in U.S. Patent Publication No. 2009-0239130 A1 may not be advantageous from a cost and or manufacturing perspective. - According to one embodiment of the present invention, shrink wrapping can be used to provide and maintain the compression desired.
- As shown in
FIG. 1 , ashrink wrap material 50, such as polyolefin or PVC, is provided, preferably as a rectangular cross-section tubular material around the periphery of the cell stack. - During manufacture, a compression device, such as a clamp, then can be used to compress the entire stack in
FIG. 1 , with apositive end plate 51 and anegative end plate 52, for example be placed at the ends of the stack. Either together with the compression device or afterward, a positiveelectrical terminal 26 can be placed over the oneend cell module 23 orinterconnector 24 and anegative power terminal 27 can connected over the otherend cell module 23. - Once compressed, the shrink wrap can be shrunk, for example via a heat gun, so that the shrink wrap material shrinks in the direction of the axial center of the stack, to a new position as wrap 50 a. The shrink wrap 50 a overlaps the
end plates interconnectors 24. Spacing or connections forelectrical feedthroughs 21 may also be provided prior to shrinking or post-shrinking, if desired. - The
wrap 50 a preferably is spaced from the peripheries of the interconnectors, but contacts the peripheries of thecell modules 23. - The
shrink wrap material 50 should have electrically insulating properties if the shrink wrap material makes or becomes in contact with theinterconnector 24 if theinterconnector 24 is not itself electrically insulated at its periphery. Theshrink wrap material 50 would beneficially be thermally conductive. - More than 50 cell modules may be wrapped, and preferably at least 20.
- The embodiment of
FIG. 1 provides a cost effective and simple manner for compression of the stack of cell modules, as well as hermetically sealing their enclosure. The shrink wrap also may reduce the weight of the cell stack and can be used efficiently in mass manufacturing. Instead of a heat gun, the cell stack also could pass with thewrap 50 through a heating device. -
FIG. 3 shows an alternative embodiment of the present invention in which asealant 53 is placed at the peripheries of thecell modules 23 and if present theend plates sealant 53 can be spaced from a periphery of theinterconnectors 24. Thesealant 53 is located around the entire stack, so that the stack is completely sealed. - The
sealant 53 can be applied in a liquid or viscous form, before or after the stack is compressed by a compression device. Strips or a ring ofsealant 53 could also be placed as the stack is formed prior to compression. Once the stack is compressed and the sealant applied, thesealant 53 may be cured. Different sealants can be used depending on the adherence and sealing properties required, although preferred materials may include polyurethane or acrylic sealants. Heat, UV or other curing may be used depending on the sealant used. The adherence properties should ensure that a desired compression of the interconnectors remains after curing. - In both examples shown in
FIGS. 2 and 3 theinterconnector 24 andcell modules 23 are easily accessible and removable for individual cell module replacement by cutting through thesealant 53 inFIG. 3 or theshrunken wrapping 50 a inFIG. 2 . This provides for easy recycling or service. Re-assembly after individual cell module replacement can by accomplished by resealing by application of additional heat shrinkable wrapping and then heat shrinking as shown inFIG. 2 or in the arrangement illustrated inFIG. 3 , applyingadditional sealant 53 to the upper and lower perimeters of the replacement cell module with the adjacent interconnectors under compression. - In addition, the compressed stacks from both embodiments in
FIGS. 2 and 3 may be further housed in an insulating case, for example, an electrically insulating coating, bag or housing around the stacks shown inFIGS. 2 and 3 . - It will be appreciated by those ordinarily skilled in the art that obvious variations and changes can be made to the examples and embodiments described in the foregoing description without departing from the broad inventive concept thereof. It is understood, therefore, that this disclosure is not limited to the particular examples and embodiments disclosed, but is intended to cover all obvious modifications thereof which are within the scope and the spirit of the disclosure as defined by the appended claims.
